Violent Femmes

On October 4, 2016, the Violent Femmes showcased their enduring charm with a live performance at Paste Studios in New York, well after the release of their 2016 album, "Hotel Last Resort." This album marked a significant return to their roots, offering a fresh yet nostalgic vibe that delighted both long-time fans and new listeners alike. It was recorded after a hiatus and features a blend of new material that feels both spontaneous and rooted in their signature sound. Interestingly, the band has enjoyed a cult status since their self-titled debut, and their live shows, like this one, often brim with energy that resonates well with their audience. The performance of “It’s Gonna Rain” serves as a testament to their ability to bridge past and present seamlessly, showcasing the band's iconic folk-punk style.
